Art Listings June 2015

Melissa's Pick

Rather than leaving on holiday during Miami’s arts off-season, ostensibly the hottest time of the year, the Bakehouse Art Complex is moving full speed ahead as an incubator for upcoming local talent. Their current series, “Swenson Shots,” presents emerging artists with a unique opportunity to develop temporary exhibitions within the span of a week, Monday through Sunday, with an opening on Wednesday. This time constraint gives the artist just enough time to set up, host an opening, lead a talk, document the show, and conduct private visits with curators, gallerists, and potential buyers. This month’s artists include Cara Despain, Eddie Negron and Marla Rosen, Kayla Delacerda and Richard Spit, Oly, and Maria Barbist. As many of Miami’s commercial galleries hit the reset button in anticipation of the upcoming arts season, “Swenson Shots” gives enthusiasts the opportunity to see what some of Miami’s established artists have up their sleeves, as well as showcases fresh faces on the scene. “Swenson Shots” should prove to be a delicious variety sampler for anyone hungry for something new.
